Q2 2023 Large Group: Folklore and Legends.

[snow cargo]

Characters and creatures from mythology, folklore and fairy tales. Mermaids, werewolves, fairies, leprechauns, griffons, unicorns, bigfoot, and characters from stories like Cinderella, Tarzan, or Robin Hood.

[mighty socket]

Thanks Inarah. I'd like to paint the cyclops from the Bones V Greek expansion. He's a shoe in for Polyphemus from the Odyssey.

[crude stream]

I can do the dwarf pugilist as rumplestiltskin - something about his beard and hair ponytails says fairy tale

[hollow stone]

Mind if I join?
I pulled out my merfolk from Bones V Dark Depths, thinking the one with shell brazier.

[spare wharf]

Oh I would like to do Pearl the Mermaid please.

[long urchin]

If I can find her around my house, and if I can find enough time, I’d like to do Sleeping Beauty - 50188. 🙂

[wild zinc]

May I join with the Hippogriff #44178?

[snow cargo]

of course!

[lucid sundial]

Hi, this topic is a kind of workshop, where a theme is proposed and anyone who wants to can participate!? Does it have any purpose other than to motivate painting? Sorry for asking so many questions, I'm new here and I couldn't find the rules. There is a definite finish date!😃

[wild zinc]

Large Groups are a lot of fun. It's a quarterly category that yes, has a theme and all the minis should be different (whereas Duo and Trio folks are all painting the same mini). Large groups need a minimum of 4 painters and only have a top limit of the number the coordinator is willing to wrangle.

We've all gotten pretty creative with theme ideas over the years so it's usually easy to find or make something to fit your Pile of Opportunity.

[lucid sundial]

Thank you for the explanation, I would like to participate!

I thought of Thoth Nefsokar Cleric - 14241 Warlord, what's been here for a long time in my pile of shame! Do you think he fits the idea of mythology?😃

[snow cargo]

Welcome. The rules for participating in the Reaper Challenge League are in the menu on the left of the screen, look under Challenge League and then Rules-and-Info. As for Thoth Nefsokar Cleric, he is a mythological character so he will do nicely. You have until the end of June, and I would appreciate seeing entries posted here by June 26 so I have time to collate everything. Take your time and try to get a nice clear close up picture.

[lucid sundial]

OK! Until the 26th of June I will post a photo of the finished mini, during this time I must post photos of the process or it is forbidden?

[snow cargo]

No, you don't need to show process, but if you'd like to share that try the Hobby Corner works-in-progress part of the Reaper discord.

[warm tusk]

Hello, I would like to join with Medusa from the Reaper5 Greek Odyssey box

[idle panther]

Hi all! Could I join with Bones V Troll (1106)?

[warm tusk]

Medusa is done

[spare wharf]

Love your Medusa!!!

[warm tusk]

Thank you so much. I was doing a lot of research on different snakes and saw medusa might have been a viper. The snake body was really fun to paint 🐍

[spare wharf]

Pearl the Mermaid

[glacial lintel]

Can I paint the weird long dog from Greek Odyssey

[glacial lintel]

Leucrotta

[snow cargo]

Sure! It's an ancient fabled beast so it counts.

[neon ginkgo]

Got Ranciziz all done this weekend

[glacial lintel]

Leucrotta done, not exactly what I wanted but I tried

[long urchin]

Life got in the way, as usual, so I am unable to meet the deadline. I haven’t been able to paint even one brush stroke on any minis.

All of everybody’s work here is so awesome and beautiful. I will enjoy from the sidelines. 🙂

@snow cargo

[snow cargo]

Thanks for letting me know. I hope next quarter quiets down and lets you enjoy more paint time.

[long urchin]

@snow cargo Thank you. ❤️

[flint root]

@snow cargo Is it too late for me to jump in with the Clay Golem from Jewish folklore? I've already got him painted, just need to take a picture.

[snow cargo]

you're good 🙂

[flint root]

Bones V Clay Golem

[snow cargo]

The vampire!

[snow cargo]

Note to group: I have images from everyone except @lucid sundial and @wild zinc. I will start putting a group entry together this weekend and wait for those last two. No more new members will be accepted.

[lucid sundial]

Hi, I'm sorry but I won't be able to participate this time. I haven't had much time or strength to approach the bench these last few weeks...😿

[snow cargo]

Ok, thanks for letting me know. Hope things get better for you.

[wild zinc]

Thanks for tagging me. As much as I'd love to finish and include mine, go ahead and post without. It's been a wild couple months culminating in many doctor visits this last month and then a whirlwind trip for a funeral this week. I'm gonna be kind to myself and take this off my To Do list.
